Love the thought! Not sure it is really true that there weren't some behind the scenes stuff going on. Also the news cycle and news reporters were more interested in policy than the dirt. Look at how long it took for JFK's affair with MM to come out.

I envision the Johnson Ad ...counting down a Goldwater nuclear launch.. They were definitely aware of the serious ideological consequences 
But when one side insists on playing dirty, it forces the other to match it - or die.
